Turn of the Tide,

AT THE sEAsHoBEs JULY l, 1885.
The moaning of the tide 1 hear,
AS of old ocean sobs;
Its heart seems beating loud and clear
With ceaseiess, mighty throbs.
Upon the beach a loving pair
Are sitting side by side;
Her hands are toying with his hair,
For she is still bride

She welcomes him with outstretched arms
He tries in vain to dodge;
HiS breath IS stronger than her charms,
For he has been to 10 .ge.
Her hands toy with his hair. [ fear
I more IN wrath than pride;
Though far from ocean's shore, [ hear
The moaning of the Tied" The Judge.

[. State Convention was attended by 10
delegates. Twenty-three new Unions were
added during the year. and the scientific
temperance educational law was reported to
be working admirably, Mrs. Perkins de-
clined a reelection as President, and Es-
tler V. Housh, of Brattleboro, was chosen
to that place. Mrs. Beaman, of Barre,
was elected Corresponding Secretary.
For the first time, the State Union took
a very advanced position on political lines.
The following were among the resolutions.

The sentence Of an Iowa drug clerk to
twenty years imprisonment and $50, 500 fine
for violation of the prohibitory law ought
to prove a wholesome warning to Others in
like manner offending. When people find
out that the prohibitory law are intended
to be enforced the cry that Prohibition
does not prohibit will not be SO common
II we rightly understand the matter this
particular drug clerk violated the law 20s0
times at $40 fine each time. We judge that
the best place for so persistent a law
breaker is just where the court sent him.

Make the case Of women our own Is
any man willing to resign his w right to
vote, and trust his welfare and his earnings
entirely to the votes of others? Suppose
any class of men should condescendingly
offer to settle forus our capacity or our call
ing; to vote for us, to choose our sphere
for us, how ridiculcusly impertinent we
should consider it! Yet few nave the good
sense to laugh at the consummate imperti-
hence with which every bar-room brawler,
every third-rate scribbler, undertakes to
settle the sphere of the Martineaus and the
DeStaels. With what gracious eondescen-
sion little men continue to lecture and
preach on ''the female sphere and ''female
duties!''- Wendell Philips.

Woodstown has been having for the last
ten years a steady and substantial growth,
and one cause for eongratulation in looking
over the ground is the fact that it has been
mostly from the inside, with bat little, if
any, external help, barring the opening of
the railroad. Foreign help in the way of
factories started with a bonus furnished
from our own people has not yet reached
us, and Judging from the experience of
other places in this respect is not the most
desirable kind of help to have. Neverthe-
less the town has grown and business has
flourished and the %outlool; is very favorable
for the future. The manufacturers will
come along in due season and if they come
right, will come to stay.

Victory DraWetu Nigh.

The lines are being more and more
sharply drawn every day between the adj
herents of the rum-shop and the friends of
peace, order, and sobriety. The hour is at
hand when every man must make a de-
cision in this matter. And when it comes
to this issue everywhere, we cannot doubt
where the majority will stand. The senti-
ment of the country is overwhelming
against a continuance Of saloon domination.
There can be no mistaking this fact. The
present movement is not dependent upon a
wave of popular excitement; it is not born
of a passing enthusiasm. 1t is the out
come of years of wrong and suffering in
duced by the cursed drink traffic; it is a
revolt of the people against a power whose
reign Of outrage, vice, and crime, has be-
come too terrible to be longer endured

The old party folks that fiattered them
selves that the Prohibition party in Salem
county was on its last legs, must have been
considerably shocked by the convention
last Tuesday. 1t was the largest yet held
in the county and the most enthusiastic,
and in its outcome-the ticket put up for
the temperance suffrage-it is singularly
fortunate in its selection of candidates, as
is conceded ali around, and we venture the
prediction that the ticket will poll a vote
that will be a surprise in more ways than
one. As a matter of fact, the Prohibition
movement. here and elsewhere was never
stronger. There has not been much -four
ish Of %trumpets, but people have been do
ing 4 good deal of quiet thinking, and
when a man allows himself time for serious
thought on the run question the chances
are strong that he will come over to the
right side, sooner or later. The rum bust
ness is showing its hand, inside and out
side the old party lines, as it never has
lone before, and as time rolls on men are
beginning to take a more and more definite
stand on the question of the times. The
fight is on in Salem county. The Prohi-
bition ticket has our earnest support and
we call upon all men who favor the wiping
out of the trade in souls, commonly known
as the rum traffic, to rally to its support.

warm, though without any division on
party lines, and women were at all the

colfe and sandwiches. A large vote is ex-
pected and both sides claim victory.
